Fantastic Double Chocolate-Pecan Biscotti image

Since biscotti is a huge favorite at my house I am always searching for good biscotti recipes, this one is fantastic! --- if you make biscotti and love chocolate, then this is a recipe you should try! --- since the batter is quite stiff this dough is best prepared on a heavy-duty stand mixer, the recipe can be completely doubled to make four logs, they will keep tightly covered at room temperature for one week, or frozen for one month, feel free to use any other chopped nuts that you desired, walnuts work great with this also :)

These biscotti were a little too hard for my liking. I think I would bake them for a shorter amount of time next time.

I found these biscotti to be a little bland. I think I would add some spices or extract next time to give them more flavor.

These biscotti were a little too dry for my taste. I think I would add a little more butter or oil next time.

These biscotti turned out fantastic! They were crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, with just the right amount of chocolate and pecans. I followed the recipe exactly and didn't have any problems.
